Volunteers wanting to help out with trail work and repairs can join the Alaska State Parks for Saturday work parties on the Saddle Trail in Kachemak Bay State Park on July 22, Aug. 5, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26. Workers grub, move and disperse dirt using pulaskis, McLeods, shovels and buckets. Free transportation is provided into the park. The boat leaves the harbor at 8:30 a.m. and returns at 4:30 p.m. No skills are necessary —, just a desire to help out. Staff provides the tools and training; you provide the energy and enthusiasm. Pre-registation is required. Contact Park specialist Eric Clarke at 399-2054 or eric.clarke@alaska.gov.
